The Legend of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 223 Advance to the finals
Jiang Duo did not question Xiao Zhu's statement, because he had already received the news that Lao Huojian and Qin Zhen were dead, which was exactly the same as what Xiao Zhu said.
He took out a token from the storage jade bracelet. The token was very similar to Xiao Zhu's Xuanwu branch president's token, except that it was larger in size and had a blue dragon pattern carved on the back.
"This is the president's token of the Azure Dragon branch, and it is also the first of the four tokens. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise tokens were given special marks when they were refined. Once they are close to each other, the Azure Dragon token will recognize the existence of the other tokens. Brother Xiao Zhu, when we first came to the Five Dragons Mountains, I noticed the abnormality of the Azure Dragon token, but at that time I could only speculate that someone was carrying the president's token. Until today when you came here, the Azure Dragon token gave a very strong signal, so I inferred that the president's token must be on you."
Although Jiang Duo has a rough appearance, he is actually very meticulous.
After hearing what Jiang Duo said, Xiao Zhu dispelled his doubts. But Jiang Duo did not take the Xuanwu Order on the table. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zhu and said, "The Demon Hunter Association has a rule that anyone who holds the President's Order and is recognized by the previous president can inherit the position of president. Since Old Huojian gave you the Xuanwu Order before his death, based on my understanding of him, he probably passed the position of president to you. Am I right?"
Xiao Zhu nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes."
"In that case, the position of the president of the Xuanwu branch should be held by you. However... because the Xuanwu Order has disappeared for more than a year, the association has already issued a call for heroes, calling on demon hunters all over the world to run for the position of Xuanwu president. If the order is withdrawn at this time, the association's reputation will be greatly damaged."
Jiang Duo hesitated for a while, then said: "Let's put it this way! According to the order of the competition, the one you will be fighting against today is a member of the General Association, and the General Association will automatically give up this competition. You will directly advance to the finals!"
As soon as Jiang Duo finished speaking, a spirit pigeon fluttered to the Hall of Heroes and landed on Jiang Duo's shoulder. In the pigeon's claws was a white jade note. Jiang Duo took off the jade note and read the information on it with his mind.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Duo. After a while, Jiang Duo glanced at everyone and said, "There is a message from Wuji Square. Jiuxi lost the competition, and Qian Zhongyong advanced to the final."
"Jiuxi... lost?" The old man surnamed Hu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"He is a demon hunter in the middle stage of the Hunter King, while Qian Zhongyong has just reached the early stage of the Hunter King."
Jiang Duo nodded and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Xiao Zhu is not the only one who created the miracle this time..."
At this time, Jiang Duo seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation. He said, "Let's stop here today and go about our business!" He glanced at Xiao Zhu again and said the same thing as Tang Yiran, "Brother Xiao Zhu, this Qian Zhongyong has bad behavior and ruthless means. If you can't defeat him in tomorrow's battle, you can just admit defeat."
After saying this, Jiang Duo turned and walked towards the back door of the Hall of Heroes. Jiang Duo walked out of the back door, and just after taking a few steps, he disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Jiang Duo leave, everyone was about to disperse. Wan Yixing pulled Xiao Zhu and said, "Xiao Zhu, what are your plans for today?"
Xiao Zhu said: "I plan to go down the mountain to Haining City to pick up an item."
Wan Yixing nodded and said, "Well, I still have to advise you. You are still young and have a bright future. Remember not to rush for quick success in tomorrow's competition. Or as Vice President Jiang Duo said, if things are impossible, take the initiative to admit defeat."
Xiao Zhu nodded sincerely and said, "Thank you!"
"By the way, President Wan, is Nuowan City doing well recently?" Xiao Zhu asked.
"The royal family was destroyed and Novan College moved. Now only the Demon Hunter Association is left in Novan City. During this period of time, we have repaired the Demon-Slaying Array, so things are relatively peaceful. However, we can only recover from the trauma of the war slowly." Wan Yixing sighed.
"Thank you, President Wan. Have you ever visited our friends at the academy at Yanhui Peak during this period?"
Wan Yixing shook his head and said, "No, I have been busy with trivial matters recently and have not had time to go to Yanhui Peak. But Dean Chu and I have a deep friendship. He once wrote to me and mentioned that the overall situation of the academy is good. Due to the two wars that caused a large number of casualties among teachers, many outstanding students such as Bai Hao and Tingyu have been officially promoted to teachers of the academy."
"Brother Bai Hao is an open-minded person with leadership qualities, and Miss Tingyu is thoughtful and intelligent. Having them serve as teachers in the academy is a good thing for both them and the academy."
“However, from what Dean Chu said in the letter, Yu Han seems to have encountered some difficulties…” Wan Yixing said.
"Ah? What difficulties did Teacher Yu Han encounter?" Xiao Zhu asked anxiously.
"You know that Yu Han lost one arm during the trip to Huanling Country. After Yu Han recovered from his injury, his cultivation level regressed to the late stage of Soul Hunting... More importantly, he always held the sword with his right hand. Now that he has lost his right arm, it is almost equivalent to losing most of his combat power."
"Yu Han has made rapid progress in his cultivation over the years and has hardly encountered any setbacks, so his ability to resist adversity has been somewhat reduced. The loss of his right arm this time was a big blow to him. I heard from Chu Enze that he has left the academy alone and no one knows where he has gone..."
"Oh my God, Teacher Yu Han..." Xiao Zhu prayed sincerely for Yu Han, hoping that he would be safe.
"Okay, Xiaozhu, you can go down the mountain! I still have to go to the back mountain to meet Hongyi and President Situ." Wan Yixing said.
Xiao Zhu naturally knew about the two people Chu Enze was talking about. He bowed to Wan Yixing and left.
……
On the back mountain of Qinglong Peak, a temple stands majestically on the top of a side peak. This is the forbidden area of the Demon Hunter Association and is uninhabited all year round.
At this time, a black light flashed, and Jiang Duo's tall figure appeared in front of the temple. He pushed open the temple door and walked in. The layout of the temple was very simple, even crude.
There is a strange statue in the center of the temple. The statue has three heads and six arms, and its face is ferocious, which makes people feel scared when they look at it.
Apart from the statues, there is nothing else in the temple. What's even more exaggerated is that the walls of the temple are covered with spider webs due to years of neglect.
This is in stark contrast to the neatness and grandeur of the Hall of Heroes!
Jiang Duo stood in front of the statue, his attitude respectful, and he clasped his hands together and said, "President, Wan Yixing has sent a message that Yuanwu, one of the Five Sacred Weapons, has appeared... in the Muye Forest of Tianfang Country."
